Question

Compare and contrast lactic acid fermentation and ethanol fermentation (alcohol fermentation). move each phrase to the appropriate category. if a phrase describes both types of fermentation, classify it as both.

Answer 1

Similar - both start with glycolysis
both make ATP without using the electron transport chain
Both end products were reduced by NADH

Differences - pyrvate produced in alcohol fermentation releases CO2 and turns into acetaldehyde which then is reduced by NADH to ethanl

In lactic acid fermentation, the pyruvate is directly reduced by NADH to lactate. There is no CO2 release.
